Last year I used my FEL for snow removal on my driveway, about 500 feet of pavement. What I noticed was the steel edge did a nice job of scraping and scratching the pavement. This year I am determined to make that knofe edge a soft edge. Has anyone done that and any suggestions? I went to a local tractor supply co (TSC) but I did not see anything that would be good to fabricate from. Any tips would be appreciated.

Wow, that is service, so many replies so quick! I can't thank you enough. I will take a look at the tire sidewall and the manual and start there with pressure. I suppose a few laps around the yard will tell me if they are digging or spinning. This forum is so cool, thanks again!

Denwood, would you consider making a set of forks (only forks not the tines) for me? I only have a 4110 buy it has the 410 FEL and I have been hoping to build a set for light lifting. We look to be about an hour or more apart, I could look around for a set of Forks. I would need them to either be set at 27" or movable. Would you consider doing something like that? I would gladly reimburse your time and materials, I just don't have a welder or torch yet.

You can post a reply or PM me.

Thanks, Rick

I have the 4110 with the 410 FEL and the widest bucket, 60 or 63 (whatever) and 95% of the time I love having the wide bucket. My driveway is 600 feet long and paved, buzzing down there with a few inches of snow or moving branches and gravel... you name it... it is nice and it is perfect for grading dirt and such. I do have the R4's too, but "seat of the pants" tells me that with very wet dirt of heavy ballast stone you can scoop more than it is comfortable with. I also have the 46 backhoe - which is 1000 lbs on the back - that is great counter weight which may be helping my situation.

I have the 46 b/h on my 4110 and absolutely love it. Too bad I did not have it a year ago when I dug in about 500 feet of rain gutter pipe away from the house... all by hand. Maybe that is what made me buy the tractor :)

Just checking around a 9" bucket is available at 275.00. Do you think there is a better deal to be had? This was a local dealer so there is no shipping.

Unrelated, do you have any idea what a new 410 loader cost retail? It was on my machine when I bought it but I am trying to make up a file with all the parts and I can't seem to find a breakdown. They are not shown on the JD web site for some reason with a price.
